Chapter 178: The Disobedient Girl
After resting for a day, Song Yao finished the painting for the Queen Mother's birthday.
This time, Song Yao didn't delay any longer, anyway, it would take a few days for the color ink to dry and frame.
Ping Xue has been here once, and after seeing the paintings, in addition to sincerely praising Song Yao's good painting skills, etc., there is nothing to find fault with.
Ping Xue had the intention to take the painting away, but she was afraid that it would damage the painting, so she could only let Song Yao keep it properly, and she must not be damaged by half a point, otherwise she would not be able to explain it to the queen.
Song Yao knew this, otherwise she wouldn't have painted another one in private, just for fear of any accidents.
Although there were many secret guards in the mansion, Song Yao still didn't want to take risks.
I had said before that I was going to buy official slaves and kabuki, and now I also found out where I could buy people, Song Yao wanted to do it herself, but Red Sleeves and the others stopped them.
"For this kind of thing, it's better not to go out in person. Although Madame is not afraid of those gossip, it is not a good thing after all. Red Sleeves said solemnly: "Even if Madame doesn't plan to live in the capital for a long time, it is difficult for the little young master to guarantee that he will be in the capital in the future, and the rumors in the capital are enough to drown people." ”
"Sister Redsleeves is right, just leave this matter to the slaves." But the man chimed in.
"Have you been to the Qinglou? Do you know what kind of woman can keep a man's heart better? Song Yao asked with a chuckle.
Although she knew that a few girls had good intentions, Song Yao really didn't feel at ease about leaving this matter to them.
I was afraid that when I saw a little enchanting, or those women threw a wink, these girls turned their heads and ran away.
Of course, it is not excluded that a few of them will find it too kitsch and just don't want it, which is a loss.
"Why don't you let a few of them go to Qinghai?" Kexin suggested on the side: "What kind of woman their men like, buy what kind of woman they want, so it's always okay, right?" ”
Redsleeves and Lovely looked at each other, then nodded in agreement.
Song Yao twitched the corners of her mouth, glanced at the three red-sleeved people, and sighed helplessly: "I'm just afraid that they will buy it back, it's all like a few of you, and this business will not be able to do it at that time." ”
"What's wrong with being like a slave? Isn't the slave and maid not good-looking? Ke Xin pouted unconvinced.
"Madame, don't get involved with slaves." But people understand, but they look at the two good sisters teasingly, and take a step back to show that they are innocent.
Red Sleeves bowed his head and said nothing, but his face was dyed with a touch of red.
Even though Red Sleeves has been avoiding Qingshan's feelings, everyone can see clearly that Red Sleeves can't pretend to be confused.
Song Yao was afraid that if she continued to make trouble, it would make Red Sleeves and Kexin unbearable, so she cleared her throat and said, "Actually, this matter is not so difficult, let's dress up as men." ”
"A woman dressed as a man?" Kexin was the first to express interest.
But people hesitated a little, but Red Sleeves knew Song Yao's temperament best, and when he saw Song Yao's smiling expression, he knew that he couldn't persuade her.
"If Madame really wants to choose someone in person, then call Qinghai to accompany them, and it is best to bring a few more secret guards, so as not to suffer a loss." Redsleeves suggested.
The slave maid felt that she should bring more people there, and although the place seemed to be an open-door business, it was also a human trafficking in private. If we show our stuff, maybe there will be real danger. Keren immediately spoke.
"The slave will go to Qinghai now and ask him to arrange manpower." After finishing speaking, the person had already run to the door.
"Alright, you guys go and get ready to change your clothes, let's go out while it's cool, and we can come back for dinner." Song Yao glanced at Tianse.
In the summer, the days are long, and those who do business will not close their doors so early, but Song Yao is not worried about taking this trip in vain.
What's more, there are many places in the capital to do such business, and there are always suitable candidates.
After the master and servant changed their clothes, they prepared to leave the house in a carriage.
Because I was going to buy someone, I had to bring enough silver tickets, so I put them all at the Qingshan brothers.
I don't know what Hong Qi was thinking, so he took his killer brothers out with him, making Song Yao mistakenly think that they wanted to open meat, and specially warned him.
"If you have a crush on any girl, you must say hello to me. If it is the one who has already received the guest, you can give some silver, and the girl will agree. If you are innocent, if you want to marry home, I will not interfere, but if you only want to be a dewy couple, quickly dispel my thoughts, these girls are my cash cow. ”
After Song Yao finished speaking, she solemnly emphasized again, "Remember, the premise of everything is that those girls are willing, as long as the people I bought back don't betray me, I will cover them, and I will never force anyone." ”
Hong Qi threw the knife at Song Yao with a slap in the eye, and there was a cold aura on his body, but it was not murderous.
Obviously, Song Yao's words made Hong Qi unhappy.
"I know you have big eyes, but you don't need to stare at me, I'm also a villain before a gentleman. lest that happens when that happens, and you feel that I am not toward you. Song Yao touched her nose and said insincerely.
"The two of them can't protect you." Hong Qi opened his mouth coldly.
"Are you looking down on our brother?" Qinghai clenched his fists and spoke indignantly.
Although the two brothers joined forces, they couldn't beat Hong Qi, but they still had the ability to escape.
And Hong Qi is the number one killer, there are not many people with his kung fu, if the two brothers join forces, there are not many people who can be opponents.
Hong Qi didn't even give Qinghai a look, obviously looking down on him.
Giving Qinghai a look and asking him not to be impulsive, Song Yao asked, "Okay, everyone is their own people, don't fight in the nest." It's good that you are here, and the dark guards don't have to come forward as much as possible, so as to alarm other forces. ”
"The secret guard's tricks are too obvious, and they really suffer when they move." After Hong Qi said this, he took the people out of the courtyard first.
Qinghai Qi wants to catch up with the theory, that is, the dark guards are also a little unstable.
However, Song Yao understood the meaning of Hong Qi's words, and kindly explained for him: "What Hong Qi means is that the secret guards are uniformly trained, and the moves are inevitably similar. Really hands-on, it's easy for outsiders to see the number of roads. If you don't exert all your strength, and you can't protect the Lord, he thinks about you too. ”
Qinghai blushed, he didn't think about it so much.
There is no way, every time he talks to Hong Qi, it is the end of defeat, which causes him to be enthusiastic when he sees Hong Qi, and wants to fight regardless of the occasion.
As for the other killers, they are all fatal guys, and they are ruthless and invincible, and Qinghai has also suffered losses when they competed with them.
The training methods of the dark guard and the killer are different, and when it comes to life and death, the dark guard will not easily use killing moves, and habitually wants to stay alive.
But the killer has only one purpose, to kill the enemy in the easiest and fastest way, preferably with a silent move.
Song Yao didn't mean to make fun of Qinghai, so she took the three maids and got into the carriage first.
Guarded by the Qinghai brothers, Hong Qi and others, and secretly accompanied by secret guards, Song Yao couldn't help but wonder if she was too ostentatious, where was the meaning of buying people, it was clear that she wanted to demonstrate the rhythm.
While Song Yao was thinking wildly, the carriage had stopped, and it was a dance studio that was about to go out of business.
Qinghai went to knock on the door, and soon a mother-in-law would go out, and when she saw Qinghai, she warmly invited someone into the house.
After knowing that she saw Song Yao, although her mother-in-law was a little surprised, she respectfully invited Song Yao into the inner hall to choose the girl she liked.
After Song Yao sat down, a little girl immediately came to serve tea, and the mother-in-law went to the back to take someone there.
In less than a cup of tea, nearly fifty girls stood in several rows, waiting for Song Yao to choose with different expressions.
There were too many people, and Song Yao couldn't see the appearance of the girls behind her clearly, so she said, "Let the ten of them come forward in a row." ”
"Still not standing up according to Childe's wishes? Ten people in a row, all raised their heads, and let the son carefully select. The mother-in-law shouted.
Ten people stepped forward and saluted Song Yao, greeting them in a crisp voice.
"You all turn around and make a lower waist motion for Ben Gongzi to see. Remember, go down to your maximum limit, but don't be too embarrassed, in case you get hurt, my son will pay you a little money for medicine at most. Song Yao said lightly.
The ten women didn't know why, but they still did as Song Yao wanted.
Looking at the softness of the waists of these ten girls, Song Yao could roughly see how their basic skills were, and ordered eight girls to stand on the left side, and the remaining two to stand on the right side.
Looking at it row by row, Song Yao accounted for more than 40 people on the left side, but there were only seven people on the right side, and they were the ones with the softest waist.
"The qualifications of these girls of yours can be regarded as average, there is a finale and they haven't come up yet, or have they already been sold?" Song Yao picked up the teacup, and didn't say whether to buy it or not, but asked about her mother-in-law.
These 50 or so people, all around the age of 10 to 14, knew at a glance that they were really people who had really learned dance.
It's just that in terms of appearance, although they have their own characteristics, they can't be regarded as outstanding, and it is impossible to make an oiran if you want to hold it out.
The mother-in-law didn't expect Song Yao to ask such a question, and after being stunned for a moment, she said with some embarrassment: "Don't hide it from the son, I also have that outstanding girl here." It's just that Childe is a step late, and two of them have already been taken away. There's one more ......."
Seeing that her mother-in-law stretched out her voice, Song Yao just glanced up at her and didn't urge.
The mother-in-law paused for a moment and sighed: "This girl, who was originally a young lady from an official family, was reduced to an official because of an accident at home, but she is also proficient in piano, chess, calligraphy and painting, and this appearance is even more superior. But this damn girl is also a hard bone, no matter what method I use, she just won't perform it. I also tried to sell her to others, but she didn't take the hairpin and poke it in the heart, I was also afraid of a life lawsuit, so I kept people untouched. ”
"It's funny." Song Yao hooked the corners of her lips and asked with interest: "I just don't know how much this girl is worth, can I see her alone." ”
"When I bought her, I spent nearly 10,000 taels of silver. This girl is weak, I spent a lot of money to treat her illness and eat well, if I don't sell it for 20,000 taels of silver, but I will lose money. Seeing that Song Yao was interested, the mother-in-law's eyes rolled and she said.
"With so much silver, he is stubborn and difficult to train, and he is a sick bun, even if he is a fairy, he is not worth it." Song Yao shook her head regretfully, indicating that she was not interested.
"I don't plan to do this dance shop, just treat it as if I have done a good deed, and I can sell it for 10,000 taels of silver. If the son agrees, he will go to meet the person first, and if he is satisfied, we will pay for the money, and if he is not satisfied, we will treat it as if we have not said it. The mother-in-law gritted her teeth and said.
